	Surely, but that's exactly the point.  In order to decide which
	functions are not supported or defective on the host platform,
	and thus are to be provided by Gnulib, an appropriate testing is
	to be done.  To relieve the Gnulib user of the responsibility to
	maintain the proper set of Autoconf macros invocations (as
	Gnulib dependencies do change), Gnulib provides its own set of
	Autoconf macros.

	And I guess, these macros aren't 2.13-compatible.
